So yeh....done with school for the semester. For the past few weeks I have been awaiting this day, but now that it is here I still feel that I have stuff to do. I think that school put me into a rhythm that I can't get rid of, and now I am constantly anxious about getting non-existent work done. I think I just need to get out of Boone.
I have decided that I am going to drive to California this summer at some point. It is going to be fun. I don't know what I am going to do when I get there, but I do not really care. I have gotten advice about how to get there, but I am thinking about taking I-40 most of the way there even though it is supposed to get very boring. I will possibly deviate from the Google Maps route when I get near the Grand Canyon.
What would I do without Google Maps...use a real map?...do those even exist anymore...
I wonder how bad the map industry has been hurt by the free Google Maps service. This is why companies now charge for many online services that used to be free.
Has the economic downturn personally affected me? Eh, maybe, but probably more in the future when finding a job becomes a priority. I just feel depressed when I watch the news on TV.
This year has been the first year I have actually been wanting to watch TV on a regular basis. Heroes, Lost, The Office, 30 Rock, Fringe: all shows that I like. Fringe is actually kind of crappy. Part of me does not want not to watch these shows on TV though because of all the commercials for upcoming doomed-to-fail reality shows. I know I should not want to watch TV this much, but these shows allow me to have a few thrills or laughs that I will never get from my job as a graduate assistant.
My friend Geoff has refused to watch Lost. This is an understandable position due to it's ability to suck a person into it's pointless yet addictive story line. I am still going to attempt to get him to watch it. I don't have any friends left in Boone who watch this show, so I need someone else to get sucked in so I don't feel like such a goober.
What is the origin of the word goober?
